Comments Thread For: DiBella: Golovkin is Overrated, This is a F***ing Fight!

[pesticid]

I am a big fan of GGG. He's got a one major weakness though and I am not talking about his defense. When he gets hit flush and hard he freezes and you can follow up with more shots on him and even rock him. You can see it in he Bute fight in the amateurs, against Ouma in spots early in the fight. Rosado showed a glimpse or two in round 5 I believe. GGG is still incredibly tough but unlike Barrera and Morales and other world class counter puncher he's not good at counter punching when hit flush, he freezes. He's good at counter punching when you miss. I believe that's how he knocked Simon out as well.

Ive seen that interview, I know he ducked the fight serval times already, how many times I have to say that? But at the end of the day the fight as of now can be made so stop being Mr negative and trying to turn this intro a GGG vs Quillin argument when its a GGG has been fighting bums and making them come up in weight and still getting busted up by them.

Tonight GGG is fighting someone and with this win his Resume wouldn’t even be better that that of Broner. Broner’s best win is still better then any win on GGG yet people hate the kid, me included but I’m just trying to show you GGG has done nothing yet to warrant the hype he’s getting

So why does he need to make 2 impossible fights happen to earn your respect? Funny you seem to respect Quiilin more despite a similar garbage resume, but with the added ducking.

His hype is out of hand for his accomplishments, no doubt. But that doesn't mean he's losing to Macklin, as you're about to find out.

GGG hasn't really been busted up by anybody in the pro game. You're exaggerating quite a bit. He got busted up by Lucian Bute in the amateurs and then stopped him

He doesn’t have to only fight those guys, it was 2 of the first fighters I can think of. But beating Macklin won’t mke me think this guy is some monster, in fact I think Macklin will do pretty good tonight.

Busted up might be stretching it but he was a little ****** up in the Rosado fight. A fight that went much longer then it should have

FACT - Golovkin has excellent boxing skills and is a MONSTER puncher with KO power in both hands....something that very few boxers have with Mike Tyson being one exception. Bottom line - If Golovkin touches you, you go down and while I think tonights fight with be exciting I don't expect it to go the distance. GGG wins by KO in 6 rounds.

Golovkin had the flu/cold 2 days before the fight and had trouble breathing because of his nasal passages being swollen and his throat too. Also, Rosado did not come to fight whatsoever, he applied a huge amount of 'movement' in that fight and barley traded at all. Whenever he did he would get caught and go back on his bike and that's the story of the fight.

Rosado didn't really hurt Golovkin or mark him, a little redness under an eye on a Caucasian fighter is expected.

lol he won every round and had them stop it lest the guy gets killed in round 7. You ever catch Martinez Barker or Macklin, or better yet Macklin vs Ajetovic, Varon, or ancient Campas? Actually for getting ****** up by a JMW inferior to Rosado check Macklin Moore

Just go to the 7th minute of the video where Bute ups the tempo and puts GGG into a grinder forcing the referee to give him a standing 8 cause he wasn't responding to flush shots. He still has a tremendous chin and toughness and prevailed stopping Lucian. What I am saying is that weakness is hard to work on, when you freeze when hit flush by a hard shot. Wlad has the exact same weakness but he masks it really well by fighting out of a style where he doesn't get flush often. GGG fight a complete opposite fighting style where he's bound to get hit flush. I am not sure Macklin can expose that weakness I have my doubts as I don't think Macklin hits as hard as Bute especially the Bute early in his career when he was an offensive machine and not a chicken chit defensive fighter, but it's something to look out for.

I agree with some of what dibella said except that fights arent ducking him. Yes they are lou. Edwin rodgriguez turned down career high 750K, kid chocolate doesnt want it, and I know im forgetting a few more.
